Fortunately, the fun still remains in all its glory as there's always something to pummel or some new pattern to memorize. Battletoads consistently delivers a fun experience, heightened even more by the two-player mode. For those not obsessed with bigger and better graphics, you'll definitely want to track this one down!

Battletoads has a lot going for it. It's challenging, fun, and controls well. There is though a disappointing feeling of â€œwhat could have been,â€? as Rare had two years to fix it's fan-proclaimed â€œclassicâ€? into an excellent Genesis game. Instead, what we received is too similar to its NES counterpart. While the expected upgrades to the sound and graphics were made, adjustments and additions were completely overlooked. Battletoads for the Genesis thusly feels dated. And when sitting next to superior games like Streets of Rage, the game becomes less attractive. If you can find it cheap (and don't already own it for the NES) I would definitely recommend it as a purchase. It's just not worth going out of your way for.
